【 摘 要 】

Begonia contains between 900 and 1400 species and is found in most tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The genus is currently divided into c. 80 sections. Several of these are poorly defined and appear not to reflect underlying phylogenetic relationships. This study deals with the systematics of one such taxonomically problematic section from Asia.
